See message entitled "1978 Dodge Sportsman RV" for possible cause. Has the heads or manifolds been worked on or replaced? -or- Did it overheat before the water pump was replaced?

I don't see a tempurature listed nor the conditions it runs hot under. Nor how you are determining the tempurature. It could be as simple as a bad dash guage or hot thermostat. Or you could have a blockage in the rad. More info needed sorry.
Good Luck

The radeator is new the temp gage in the dash has been checked with a mech one it runs about 195 to 215 if you hit a hill it goes way hotter under normal coditions not towing
Re: 1978 dodge 440 over heating joe wood 7-9-08  
The heads and the intake are the same. if you look at the stock gauge it goes up to the notch just before the H we hooked up a gauge from walmart and it reads around 195 to 215 i know you can get a 195 degree thermastat for it thats whats in it now is the temp normal i guess would be my question
